Powmill
.....Its main claim to fame is that it is the home of the premier
meeting place of central Scotland namely
.....As well as the milk bar Powmill is also home to the famous "Gartwhinzean
Hotel" (which
spent a brief period as the 'Whinsmuir Country Inn' but was
wisely given it's more familiar name back when the present
management took over) where a gourmet meal can be had at lunch or
diner (see "Taste of Scotland"Powmill site) amongst the many
attractions at the 'Gart', apart from their keen prices, is their
"Theme
Nights", Ring
00 44 1577 840595 for details.
.....Powmill is one of the luckier small villages of Scotland in
as much that it has it's own general store - "Powmill
Stores" and if you're passing through, pop in and say hello
to 'Scott' who runs it more as a "chat shop" than a
business!
.....Just 3 miles up the A823 towards Dunfermline is 'Knockhill
Raceways' the "Brands
Hatch" of
Scotland and there is something going on there seven days a week
from club rallies through corporate days out to full blown
championship car and bike racing.
